Hi i have one too. Does you power limit slider only sit at 100% with no movement in MSI afterburner? thanks

yes, its sits at 100%. At stock, it runs at 400w and doesnt currently allow you to go above that.

FE cards and other cards are 350w and allow slider up to 400w. Gigabyte apparently allows up to 450w.

so all 5080 are capped %100 pl?

Yes, except the gigabyte Gaming oc, and probably the master cards.
Strange that ROG cards are limited to 400w.

Anyone is having issues with clocks on the GPU? I found so far at least 10 people who got same issues like me. My palit gamerock 5080 should boost to 2617 - and it does it sometimes, usually my speed is 2300 or 2850. OC from afterburner doesn't work, lets say:
My clock is 2617 i add + 525 and have around 3100Mhz, stable as rock. But once I restart my PC clocks are down to 2500 with OC. When I disable OC, clocks go down to 1980... I need to restart PC to restore somehow normal clocks. I was blaming afterburner, but now as more and more people report it and I see weird behaviour even on stock settings I think there might be some issues with drivers/bios.

Any ideas? I've tried DDU, windows reinstall, afterburner, gpu tweak etc. Latest nvidia drivers.

What I can see is that usually GPU-z reports proper clock as boost but my card does whatever it wants.

Im having same issues. If you turn of your PC and disconnect the GPU power cable and reconnect it should fix it. This worked for me.

That's interesting. There are internal settings on a GPU that will survive a warm boot. One of those must be getting modified somehow.

I know this because I use an Elmor EVC2 with my 4090 that allows direct control of the VRM controllers for volt modding among other things. Those changes made my the EVC2 will not reset until I flip the PSU switch off.

large stocks of 5080 locally, just nobody wants to buy it for 2000$ SRP..lol

At $999 it is not a bad card, considering it offers about 90% of RTX 4090 performance for 62.5% of the price, and support Mult-frame generation. Not a significant upgrade from RTX 4080, but it is not a bad upgrade for people coming from Ampere or older cards.
Generational performance jump won't be the same as it used to be 10 years ago. And one of the key parts of improving 5080 performance over 4080 is GDDR7 which is a cutting-edge and expansive technology.

we will get the correct upgrade when it become GDDR7X, until then - no need.

Think I will try to get a 5080, giving up on the 5090. I'm coming from a 4070Ti Super so it should be a nice upgrade.

I get a lot more stock alerts on the 5080 than the 5090.

BlackFox1337 · Feb 4, 2025

It seems like the people complaining about the 5080 performance are the ones that have 40 series cards. For those of us that have older cards its quite a nice upgrade. I understand that rasterization performance is lacking vs generational releases in the past, but AI is going to change the way games are made and processed. The 5080 is the 2nd best card you can buy for your money right now, plain and simple.

After 3 AMD cards finally on the Nvidia again, got the cheapest model - Ventus X3.
So far pretty impressed how well it undervolts and overclocks. Running it on 2800mhz@900mV, +500mhz memory. It's not the limit probably just went for it and stable so far.

Good info, thanks for sharing! I have seen mentioned that OC on the memory is not necessary since the bandwidth is already pretty high. Core OC seems to be the most beneficial. What is the average core frequency boost you are seeing in games?

Quite stable 2760mhz in Hunt Showdown, with or without fps cap. Average power consumption without fps cap was around 270W, but with fps cap it's quite eco - around 200W(7900XT consumed over 300W constantly with a bit lower graphics)
Not sure if in games memory OC helps, but in benchmarks it made some difference, also didn't increase memory temp.

I am having the same issue with an Asus TUF 5080 OC Edition. So far the only thing that seems to work so far is uninstalling MSI Afterburner completely and using GPU Tweak exclusively for overclocking. I am hoping that is an issue with the drivers that can be fixed soon, rather than something that requires a vBIOS update.

Agree.

However, 1) it still beats the gigabyte cards which allow for 450w and 2) give it some time. Last gen strix card received bios updates that added +100w across the lineup. I could see something similar happen for the astral.

The only thing I'm curious about is if they will allow higher voltage at some point in the future. It has the cooler headroom.

I came from a RTX 2080Ti to the 5080 and it's really impressive. I'm playing cyberpunk again in 1440p everything maxed out with dlss quality and 3x framegen, getting 170-180 fps. The added latency is not a problem so far for me.

I've not had the described issues, but i will say that gpu tweak gave me better overall oc results than msi afterburner.

I've had the issue and resolved it by don't touching the voltage at all in afterburner or any other app. Apprarently there is an issue with the nvidia driver and the voltage regulation and if something tries to change it it goes bonkers and locks you to lower clocks after a restart of the driver, be that from a pc restart or a driver crash and reload.

So don't touch the voltage at all no matter the brand?

yep, just leave it be, the cards generally seem to have good headroom for overclocking as is without increasing the voltage. My Palit RTX 5080 Gamerock is set to +450mhz core / +2000mhz Memory which puts it at around 3200mhz core/ 17000mhz memory. My card can't even increase the powerlimit so this is at 100%/360W powerlimit. I'm also solely limited by power with these settings.

have you tried anything above +450 core?
